So yesterday I was out doing what I can’t talk about right now, and my car started making knocking noises (like a lawn mower), as I was trying to get to a shop, my engine began to limit the power to it. So I limped it to the shop. Glad I made it, just as I got there it shut off.
Engine light was blinking and oil light came on. 😒 It was 2 quarts of oil low somehow, so not sure what is going on.
They checked the engine codes and the two that popped coencided with current issues that 2017-2021 Tucsons (mine is a 2020) have that deal with engine baring rods and the engine burning oil. There is even a class action lawsuit.
Now I have to get the car towed to Hyundai to being the diagnostic process to see if I can still get manufacturer warranty on it. I am still under 100,000 miles. Also going to look into that lawsuit.
@beardedtechguy Oh wow, what a disaster. Car troubles are so frustrating in every way possible. Hopefully you can get things taken care of at as little cost as possible.
@cliffwade Disaster indeed. The engine is blown. Luckily the manufacturer’s warranty is covering the work! Whew… Hyundai has 10…10 motor’s currently needing replaced with the same issue.
I am looking at about 1 week for Hyundai to even get to my car and another 8 weeks total to get a new engine in and completed.
